Would Betty Friedan be fighting for boys today?

Would Betty Friedan be fighting for boys today?

On the 50th anniversary of the Feminine Mystique am reading Friedan, the last great feminist, again.

In one chapter she wrote, "The proportion of women attending college in comparison with men dropped from 47 per cent in 1920 to 35 per cent in 1958." That's what's happened to boys in the last 30 years. Almost the exact same percentages too. The mother of boys, am thinking Betty might just be fighting for both women and boys today.
